Soon to own a DTXpress II

2003-04-07 by KLX Racer

Hi All,

I am currently looking at purchasing a DTXpress II kit following 
many years playing acoustic drums.  My reasons for going electric:

- I live in an apartment complex, acoustic drums just aren't 
feasible any longer
- Practise with headphones and not annoy my wife!
- Easy to record and jam with the rest of the band quietly at home.
- Multiple drum sounds
- Small and light, easily transported to gigs etc.

We play mostly rock / hard rock, and are looking to use the kit for 
jamming, practise, some home recording, and some small gigs.  Is 
there anybody else in a similar situation who could offer feedback / 
assurance that I am going the right way?

The only downsides I can see are that it does not have the aesthetic 
appeal of a fullsize acoustic kit, and it does not have the raw 
acoustic sound (or does it?).

Cheers,
KLXracer
